Assignment – 3

1. Determine the force in members ED, BD, and 5. Determine the force in members JI, IC, and CD
BC and state whether they are in tension or of the truss. State if the members are in tension
compression or compression. Assume all members are pin
connected.

2. Determine the force in members GF, FC, and

CD of the cantilever truss. State if the members
are in tension or compression. Assume all
members are pin connected
6. Determine the force in members GF, CF, and
CD of the roof truss and indicate if the members
are in tension or compression

3. The Howe truss is subjected to the loading

shown. Determine the forces in members GF,
CD, and GC. State if the members are in tension
or compression.
7. Determine the force in members FE, FC, and
BC and state whether they are in tension or
compression

4. Determine the force in members GF, FC, and

CD of the bridge truss. State if the members are
in tension or compression. Assume all members
are pin connected
8. Determine the forces in members KJ, CD, and
CJ of the truss. State if the members are in
tension or compression.
